This is part of my decision process as well. I'm thinking NG3 and ACIII can wait. ZombiU will have that community aspect to it online though so it might be worth picking up at launch when all the other Gaffers are talking about it.

For me ACIII can't wait but I don't know about Zombi U, I guess when reviews come out it will help me with my decisions.

I knew that SNES Pro controller on IGN wasn't first party, Nintendo would never make something that cool these days.

Not a lot of people seem to be getting BLOPS2 in here.

I'll be getting:
Deluxe
NSMBU
ZombiU
Ninja Gaiden
BLOPS 2
Sonic Racing

still kind of on the fence about Ninja Gaiden.

Was that SNES controller ever sold at retail? I always saw the crazy overpriced Club Nintendo ones and wrote it off as a luxury I couldn't afford.

If they put a reasonable price on it, 2 would be mine!!

Has anyone found any cool cases for the gamepad. I don't need anything for moving the console about, I'll just chuck it all in my bag. The pad has me a little worried though. The two I've found are this, but it has no price up yet and this one which seems overly expensive, but it is official.

Besides my Deluxe I'll be picking up NSMBU which is a given and kind of throwing around Tekken or Scribblenauts with their bonus Nintendo content.

BLOPS 2 will be mine. I was thinking of holding off for a little bit just to make sure the online is good but I'll at least enjoy the SP.

NSMBU
Zombi U
Assassins Creed 3

Really annoyed that AC3 doesn't have any of the special editions the other consoles get. Kinda the same way about BLOPS II. This shits been known for so long no excuse

I'm pretty sure the Wii U version of AC3 is the same as the 360/PC version, the only one that I think that is getting exclusive content is the PS3 version, unless Ubisoft is waiting to announce exclusive Wii U details.

And the Wii U is getting 2025 at launch for BLOPs II, we just don't know about the season pass.

Honestly I'm not so sure about the 2025 bonus either, that was only confirmed by one site that no one had ever heard of (gotgame or something like that?) I am gonna assume it isn't in there until a reputable site confirms it.

COD seems to get a lot of hate around here, but Black Ops 2 looks great. Treyarch seems to put a ton of effort and content into their games.

Outside of Tekken Ball, is there going to be any more single player content in Tag Tournament? I was curious about it for the PS3, but I mainly play single player.

Are you sure? I have the Join or Die edition pre-ordered for the Wii U.

Aside from Nintendoland packed in with the Deluxe, I have Zombi U and Darksiders II pre-ordered via a Newegg $12 discount code.

Will be getting NSMB U digitally at launch to test out the e-shop and the Deluxe discount program.

And will very likely be getting Sonic Racing too, given its low price and how great it's looking regardless of platform.

Then the wait for Pikmin 3 begins...

Yeah, the controller is a bit too similar to the Xbox 360 controller this way. With a few more edits (button shape, button color, button labels, matte material), I think it can look very nice.

It doesn't really look like one to me, and why would their be a Wiimote in their and why make the boxes look like the Wii's?

AGIT posted photos a few days ago of the displays, they include wiimote/nunchuck along with the Gamerpad.

I wish we were close enough to get unboxing videos. :/

So when do we usually get a Nintendo Direct announcement? Is it too late to announce one for tomorrow?
Click to expand...

I don't think so, we usually get an announcement closer to midnight. Nintendo's Facebook hyping Scribblenauts makes me think that at least a third party WiiU ND showcase is likely.
